Amazing shot! I wonder if the focus would support a closer crop on the bird and it's prize while showing less of the flower? The color contrasts are nice.

Wow! Now there's something I've never seen. I'm curious and will have to come back after the challenge to see where this was taken...to look up this hummingbird. Nice catch!
